Convenient location
The house was clean and convenient to everything. Plenty of parking for two vehicles. The management team was easy to get a hold of. Only complaint really was the wifi. They did get spectrum to come out. But afterwards you couldnt watch any tys without it constantly freezing.

AMI Rental
Rental was very clean, beds were comfortable, communication with rental company was excellent. Proximity to beach was ideal and quiet hours on the Anna Maria Island made our stay very enjoyable.
Great location. Space between the bedrooms was far enough you could have down time. Would go back. The location was great. Right down the street to beaches. Walk to restaurants and shops. Got a little loud at night but only until 10p when the area goes into quiet zone. Didnt know there was a washer and dryer we could use. That would have been good to know beforehand. There were unknown golfcarts parked in the driveway which we didnt understand why and got some different answers to. Some of the conveniently located outlets didn't work. Still great place and would go back.

Charming house in great location
Pros: charming house, very clean, spacious, great natural light, great layout, 3 king beds and 2 of the 3 rooms has TVs. Spacious and well-stocked kitchen if you plan to cook (we did for several meals but don't count on any cooking essentials being there, such as salt or sugar). Centrally located, with easy walk to the beach and several area stores and restaurants. Ample off-street parking (not sure why the listing limits the parking to 2 cars, as 4 cars would fit). There were some beach items to use, mostly kid toys. Would definitely return given the great house and location.
Cons: no tools to be able to use the grill, so we had to improvise. We were unable to use the QR code to access information on the property even though we tried repeatedly on 2 different phones. We received multiple email and text reminders about check out, many more that we have experienced from other rentals.

Bliss
Adorable, and quaint cottage with plenty of room for all of us. Particularly loved the three bedrooms with a king size bed in the each. Walkability to retail and Beach was very easy. Only about five properties between this cottage and the beach on a quiet side street. Wonderful little restaurant about a block away as well as across the street and an ice cream shop. Lots of great little souvenirs in Ginny and Jane’s restaurant which is packed. The agency, a AMI, was always available and extremely helpful with any questions … will definitely visit again.
